Cialis blog controversy is major war of words

Friday, February 3, 2006

Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and Company is currently engaged in a war of words with John Mack, editor of the monthly newsletter Pharma Marketing News. Mack and Eli Lilly are debating the origin of the Cialis Blog, a long-running Web site containing information about the popular anti-impotence medication Cialis. The Web site features information about Cialis’ clinical trials and commentary from Lilly ICOS executives.

Mack has suggested that Eli Lilly and Company sponsors the Cialis Blog. However, Lilly ICOS has asserted that it has nothing to do with the Web site.

Mack disputed Eli Lilly’s version of events calling the Cialis Blog “too far-fetched to be believed” and an example of Lilly’s “incredible incompetence.” Another blog, Envisioning 2.0, notes that the “Cialis blog is not endorsed by the powers that be at Lilly ICOS, according to Lilly spokesperson Kindra Strupp.”

Pharmaceutical Executive first mentioned the Cialis blog in an October 2004 article about pharmaceutical blogging. The author of the story assigned responsibility for the blog to Lilly ICOS without attribution.

Other bloggers have posted comments on Envisioning 2.0 and Mack’s Pharma Marketing Blog suggesting that the Cialis Web site may be unofficial. They cite evidence from a WHOIS search indicating that Mircea Piturca of Romania apparently registered the blog.

Mack and bloggers commenting on the debate have all urged Eli Lilly to take action against the site. They all believe it is in the company’s best interest to have the site shuttered.

Small Home Plans

By Michael Mock

Small home plans can be ideal for a single homeowner, or a small family. Small home plans can be a choice that larger families might want to consider, too, though. Homeowners may choose them for financial reasons, such as having a lower mortgage, so the homeowner is better able to save more or contribute to their retirement. They may choose small home plans for environmental reasons, in order to leave less of a carbon footprint. A smaller home costs less and uses less energy than a larger home to heat and cool to the same temperature. They may choose them in order to have less to clean up on any given day. Whatever the reason, plenty of people choose small home plans, so now you just need to consider whether it might be something that works for you.

Do you tend to spread out your possessions and use up all the space available to you, no matter the size of the space? Small home plans may help you rein in that tendency, and give you the amount of space you really need. Even if they don’t, it still keeps the mess confined to a smaller space. Conversely, if you’re quite organized, a small home may be all you need, in order to best set up your space. You may be able to buy your house and send extra funds to your retirement too, and if you’re well organized, it might not seem like you’re even giving anything up or making any sacrifices. You may also choose to make it a squeeze to the budget, and spend as much on other things besides housing as possible.

How big your house feels isn’t always dependent on the actual square footage of the house. There are plenty of small homes that can be designed in such a way to make the flow of the home orderly and have it make sense. There are plenty of larger homes that aren’t designed well to take advantage of all the square footage available. Well designed small home plans utilize every square foot to its maximum potential. There should be no unused space if other spaces are lacking.

While you’re in the house hunting arena, you have a lot of decisions to make. Do you want a large or small home plan? Do you want to have your home built exactly to your specifications or do you want to buy a previously owned home that’s currently in the market inventory? Once you start deciding on your answers to these questions, it will make it easier for you to know what kind of home you’re looking for. You can look at stock house plans, based on the square footage of the home you want, or you can have your home custom built. If you decide to build, be sure to talk to your residential designer about any special requests or considerations you have for your home. The builder should be able to help guide you to the perfect home for you. Happy house hunting and have a blast deciding what you want from your home.

Australian police seize one tonne shipment of ecstacy

Friday, April 15, 2005Police in Melbourne have seized over a tonne of ecstacy in a shipment of tiles from Italy. Four were arrested on Thursday and early Friday relating to the shipment, which the Australian Federal Police has called the biggest shipment of street-ready ecstacy pills in the world.

The four men were charged with aiding and abetting a prohibited import, according to ABC radio. Five million tablets were seized, with a reported street value of US$190 million (AU$250m). Two were additionally charged with attempting to possess a prohibited import.

Federal police were continuing to investigate a crime ring behind the shipment, a spokesperson told News24.com.

Federal Agent Mike Phelan said: “The AFP is now working with its counterparts in Italy and other parts of Europe to identify any overseas links with this latest seizure.”

X-rays taken of the shipment, which arrived in Port Melbourne earlier in the week, had revealed anomalies inside eight pallets which were stacked with tiles, said a report from Australian Associated Press.

Police then monitored the shipping container until it was delivered on Thursday to a suburban Melbourne factory, where two men were arrested, according to the News24.com report. Agents searched a dozen homes and businesses across Melbourne and arrested two more men early on Friday. All four suspects were due to appear in court later on Friday.

Federal Justice Minister Chris Ellison praised the AFP, the Australian Customs Service and the Australian Crime Commission involved in the operation, which he told Australian Associated Press had been ongoing since January.

“This big seizure sends a very clear message to those who want to traffic drugs to Australia, you will be caught and face very serious penalties,” Senator Ellison told the news agency, saying the shipment “could have wreaked havoc”.

“Anyone who says this sort of seizure does not slow the supply of drugs is quite obviously out of touch with reality.”

The previous largest Australian ecstasy haul occurred in November 2004 in Sydney, when 1,800 pounds of ecstasy tablets and powder were seized, Australian Federal Police (AFP) told Reuters, compared to this shipment’s weight of 2,240 pounds.

Woman returns home with Christmas turkey, a month after setting out

Tuesday, January 19, 2010

A Scottish woman who set out before Christmas to purchase a turkey finally made it home on Monday, after being cut off by snow for a month. Kay Ure left the Lighthouse Keeper’s cottage on Cape Wrath, at the very northwest tip of Great Britain, in December. She was heading to Inverness on a shopping trip.

However on her return journey heavy snow and ice prevented her husband, John, from travelling the last 11 miles to pick her up. She was forced to wait a month in a friend’s caravan, before the weather improved and the couple could finally be reunited.

They were separated not just for Christmas and New Year, but also for Mr Ure’s 58th birthday. With no fresh supplies, he was reduced to celebrating with a tin of baked beans. He also ran out of coal, and had to feed the couple’s six springer spaniels on emergency army rations.

“It’s the first time we’ve been separated”, said Mr Ure in December. “We’ve been snowed in here for three weeks before, so we are well used to it and it’s quite nice to get a bit of peace and quiet.”

Thinking Of Taking Hgh Here Are Some Things You May Want To Know

By Todd Erwin

What’s the big deal with all this fuss about HGH (Human Growth Hormone)? After all, human growth hormones have been around as long as people have been around. Well, HGH is gaining attention now because science is just beginning to understand how important and miraculous this hormone really is!

Why is HGH so hot right now?

HGH (human growth hormone) is becoming recognized as the single most important way to slow the annoying signs of aging. And who doesn’t want to stop–or at least slow down–the processes of aging. Getting older may be inevitable, looking and feeling older are not! We have the technology to fight the signs and effects of aging.

What to Consider before beginning Hormone Replacement Therapy?

In spite of the many advantages of hormone replacement therapy, you should carefully consider whether or not you are a suitable candidate for HRT. Remember, not everyone responds the same to treatment. Results vary from person to person. You can’t always expect the results that your friend or neighbor has reported. Talk to a medical professional before committing to any treatment.

How is Synthetic Hormone Replacement Therapy administered?

Synthetic growth hormones are administered through injections. These injections introduce additional hormones directly into your blood stream and so many people report immediate results, including enhanced stamina, younger looking skin, and increased energy.

What’s the relationship between growth hormones and aging?

The human body produces growth hormones most actively during childhood and puberty. The production of these hormones peaks during puberty and slowly decreases with age. Scientists first used HGH to help increase the height of children who were significantly shorter than their peers because of hormonal deficiencies. But eventually, they discovered that these same hormones could help slow aging and even rejuvenate older adults. As a consequence, people who were distressed by the signs and effects of aging began to seek various hormone therapies.

So what should you do?

The best candidates for hormone treatments will always be people with a preexisting hormonal imbalance, but if you hate looking and feeling old, this therapy may be for you. You may be able to fight, defer or even reverse the effects of aging on your appearance and energy levels. Still, beware of overhyped and false claims. Get solid advice from a reputable health care provider. Go with a treatment that is widely recognized as safe and effective.

One of the worst things that can happen to you as you age is that your level of HGH – human growth hormone – can drop abruptly and drastically. This can lead to the onset of a variety of health conditions including insomnia, weight gain, deterioration of the joints, the loss of muscle mass in the body, mood swings and the loss of sex drive.

All of these can take a toll on the body, mind and spirit, making your mid-life truly an unbearable age to live through.

HGH therapy has been shown to keep the onset of old age at bay and possibly eliminate the onset of many conditions that can make middle age an unbearable time of loss and frustration.

Through the use of a professionally administered testosterone or HGH treatment, you can get back on the path to good and fruitful living in no time at all.

Three dead in murder-suicide shooting at Southern California fast food restaurant
Posted by , No Comments

Sunday, June 20, 2010

A 6-year-old boy and his father were shot and killed Saturday afternoon while eating inside a busy Del Taco fast food restaurant in San Bernadino, California, before the shooter turned a gun on himself.

According to the San Bernadino Police Department, 56-year-old Jimmy Schlager arrived at the Del Taco at 1:15pm PST (2015 UTC) on a bicycle, and, armed with two semi-automatic guns, entered the restaurant and opened fire on a family of four who were dining together. The employees and other customers all ran out of the restaurant and escaped without injury.

The father of the family, identified as 33-year-old Alex Trujillo, was declared dead at the scene, said the San Bernadino Fire Department. His wife and two sons were taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center in critical condition. His 6-year-old son, Adrian, died shortly after. The victims each suffered two bullet wounds, except the mother, who police say received up to ten gunshots. The names of the 29-year-old woman and her 5-year-old son have not been released. Both remained in critical condition on Saturday night.

After shooting the family, Schlager, later identified as the woman’s step-father, shot himself in the head. He was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, where he later died from the self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Police said Schlager had previously been arrested a number of times, on charges that included theft and assault with a deadly weapon.

Inspectors close Chicago landmark Healthy Food restaurant after finding dead mouse in cooler

Inspectors close Chicago landmark Healthy Food restaurant after finding dead mouse in cooler
Posted by , No Comments

Saturday, April 2, 2005

Chicago city inspectors closed the landmark Lithuanian restaurant Healthy Food on Thursday, after finding mouse feces on the meat slicer and cutting board, and a dead mouse in the cooler.

The restaurant has operated at 3236 S. Halsted, on the south side of the city in the Bridgeport neighborhood, since the 1930s.

Wikinews reporter David Vasquez placed a call to the restaurant to inquire if they were open. The call was answered by a woman who said, “No, we’re closed. There’s some technical difficulties. I’m sorry. Thank you for calling.” A second phone could be heard ringing in the background.

Streets and Sanitation spokesman Matt Smith told the Chicago Sun-Times, “To reopen, they’re going to have to present us with a revamped game plan for not only rodent control but also housekeeping, they’ll have to make all the corrections that our inspectors point out,” he continued, “and pass a very stringent follow-up inspection.”

Patrons have praised the restaurant’s sauerkraut soup and other dishes over the years. Before it was closed, the restaurant had a lot of traffic from the nearby Cook County Circuit Court. The restaurant was once voted “Best Ethnic Eastern European Restaurant in Chicago”, according to New City.
